Hi, 
I have a problem with converting my layer to flatten transparency for print on my roland treuvis printer. 
I work with spot colors which cannot print with transparent layers. 
This layer is made with effect - blur. 
Flatten transparency does not want to work here. 
Does anyone know how I can fix this so i can maintain the transparency?

Greetings Jessic

Does your printer have spot color inks? If not use Process colors. If you used Overprint, change that to Darken blend mode first.

 The program i use reconizes spot colors as cutting lines this i need for cutting the logo's. So i need spot color in my design.

Please show us a screenshot.

 

Exactly what needs to be done?

Which error messages do you get?

 

If there is a warning about spot colors and transparency, just ignore it and continue. It's just a warning. You know what you're doing, right? So just go on.

Hi. When you flatten transparency, the transparent areas are no longer transparent. Maybe you can apply Flatten Transparency to all artwork to create the expected visual result.

You want to flatten the transparency and keep it? That's not possible.
